And who was on VAR duty to help Mr Walsh out? One of his colleagues from Boclair Academy, Grant Irvine, another from the PE Department at that remarkable school in Bearsden.
Jamie McGrath wasn’t sent off for a dangerous kick at the head of Arne Engels. Yang Hun-jun wasn’t awarded a penalty, Walsh did award a penalty with no evidence against Liam Scales. VAR was selective on the decisions to over rule. No Celtic fan will be surprised by these patterns.
Of course Premier Sports didn’t want to know. Referee Walsh can be excused for missing it, he was dealing with Nicky Raskin moaning about the assault on Kenny. No excuses for McLean and Andrew Dallas on VAR duty, those incidents are what they are paid for.
There seemed to be nothing brewing when Cameron Carter-Vickers cleared the ball out of play towards the Celtic dug-out. What happened next caught Walsh sleeping, he switched off, almost causing a goal that would have dominated the headlines.
With two sendings off to his name already those season Joe Wright jumped for a free kick with one aim- to crash his elbow into the face of the Celtic striker.
Early in the second half Sky Sports replayed the handball incident, highlighting that Sima was offside when the cross was made, later on VAR lines were produced to justify the decision but the timing seemed strange.
Gordon has been getting eased out the door at BBC Scotland by the ever-staunch Macintyre, it looks like the Aberdeen fan is embarking on the slow goodbye that Jim Spence went through a decade ago.
Prior to the shirt pull Sam Lammers had blocked Gartenmann as he moved to track the ball, an incident that Dallas decided to overlook, as did Walsh.
